The armed forces had deteriorated during the 1970s to a dangerous point where there were real questions about the ability of our military services to defend our national interests and to defend the country. In terms of our national security, our situation was equally grave. And as a result of all of these things-the oil shortages as well as the economic condition-we had a stagnant economy-something the economists said could never happen-high inflation at the same time as a stagnant economy. We had oil shortages, and I’m sure all of you who were driving at that time remember getting up at four or five o’clock in the morning to get your car in line at the gas station because by nine o’clock they would be all sold out. We had unemployment at 7.5% in 1980, which would rise to nearly 10%. Our interest rates were as high as 21%, so real estate was not moving at all. Within the country, we were experiencing the worst economic chaos since the Great Depression. Most of you here will remember the late 1970s as a time of crisis: economic crisis, national security crisis, and a crisis in terms of the United States position in the world.

That period of time has given us a perspective in which to look back and to evaluate perhaps more clearly than the media was able to do at that time, the significance of the Reagan Presidency.
